Creditors’ Rights Options for Atlanta Bankruptcy Cases

When stakes are high, a creditor is urged to seek competent legal counsel. Creditors do not have to simply absorb loss without first seeking the opportunity to mitigate and minimize that loss. If you are an Atlanta area business owner looking to get payment on debts that your customers owe you, you have several options — based on your creditors’ rights — on how to get the money that you deserve.

These options include:

Asserting an “administrative expense” priority claim for goods received by the bankrupt customer within 20 days of a bankruptcy filing.

Asserting a “reclamation claim” for goods delivered to an insolvent customer within the 45 days before a bankruptcy filing.

Claiming rights as a “lien holder” with regard to special classifications of supplies.

Asserting a right to compensation as an “essential supplier” or “critical vendor.”

Granting relief from an automatic stay if it can be shown that a debtor is committing fraud or acting in bad faith.

All of these options are good solutions to get compensation from your customers. If it’s becoming particularly difficult to get payment from your customers, the option of taking them to court is always available. No matter what creditors’ rights option you choose, you should have a skilled Georgia creditors’ rights attorney represent you during your legal proceedings.
